Ended up finishing the rear the next day. Talk about another pain in the arse! Trying to line up those spring leaf holes for the new center pin was a biatch!
Put some new BFG All-Terrain 32x11.5 tires on it 2 days later. Looks AWESOME! I LOVE the ride now, it feels so much more confident and it handles much better, in my opinion.

BUT, they're right about the shocks in the back; you need longer ones with any lift. Nothing major, but if I go over speed bumps fast or anything like that, I hear a big clunk in the back from the shocks hitting their limits.
Just ordered a new set of Bilstein 5125s and the appropriate bushings that should be coming early next week. Then she'll be ready to head back out in the rough stuff. Good times!

Just an FYI in case anyone ever was wondering... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />
